TAIPEI (Taiwan News)– The Taiwan Centers for Disease Control (Taiwan CDC)

Tuesday announced one new confirmed case of listeriosis, which is also the first case confirmed in Taiwan since listeriosis was recently listed as a notifiable disease.

In late December 2017, an 80-something year-old man who resides in central Taiwan sought medical attention after developing symptoms, including fever and vomiting, Taiwan CDC said, adding, subsequently, he lost consciousness and entered into a coma.

Listeriosis was later confirmed after the hospital reported the case to the competent authority for laboratory testing. As of now, the senior citizen has gradually been recovering and is still being treated in the hospital, the agency said.    [FULL  STORY]
